Thank you for your understanding, Emanat and Glej team

The project Another Crying Game is the continuation of Irena Tomažin’s long-standing exploration of the voice in the field of free improvised music and the realm of sound and noise, the liminality of the voice, the body and the sounding of its mechanics.

Another Crying Game is a performance concert of avant-schlager songs that the artist has always stubbornly kept hidden, only pulling them out of her Pandora’s box on rare occasions. Some songs, their first ideas or themes, are over 19 years old. They span the time in which the artist has moulded her voice by kneading, writing, erasing and rewriting various fragments of lyrics that eventually became a song through persistent forgetting and revisiting. In addition to the live or recorded avant-schlager songs, she will also embody the characters and themes of the songs, which are in a way a play of (extreme) emotional states and fragments of stories from daily life – little dramas that capriciously shape the funny, bizarre and fateful ways we perceive ourselves, others and the world.
